I am so thankful for all of the freelancers, my site, my
knowledge etc in the field of FRUGALNESS and COUPONS
yesterday........... I was thinking this as I went about my
daily routine and then some
I woke up to drink some first rate coffee, which was very
cheap, with my FREE international delight creamer, and my
packets of splenda (free)........
I got on the internet and won 5 more 2liters of COKE (see
forum for how you can do this too expiration 3/15/06)
then made 2 orders from some GDAS very cheap and winding up
my shopping for CHRISTMAS for my two grandchildren (whom I
spoil rotten btw) and it is only MARCH, both grandchildren
are getting SO MANY GOODIES and I am DONE with them and now
on to finish my KIDS! :)
NEXT I got on my FREE TREADMILL (thanks to freecycle.org)
and jogged a mile........ used my arm rings (GOT VERY CHEAP
FROM A GDA A WHILE BACK) and then used my FREE JUMP ROPE
(from mail in offer)
I jumped in the shower after grabbing some VERY CHEAP after
rebate AQUAFINA WATER, and used my FREE SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER
AND SOAP to get squeaky clean. Then I used my CHEAP CHEAP
CHEAP ST IVES foot scrub, and my AWESOME BODY LOTION from
BBW that I got FREE with a coupon! HOW COOL IS MY DAY SO FAR?
I got out of the shower and used some FREE SUAVE mousse for
my hair and then used about 5-6 different cosmetics (ALL
FREE OR CLOSE TO IT) to get "ready" for my day out!
I put on my $15 SKIRT (retail $99) and my $1.25 shirt
(thrift store)and my BIRKENSTOCKS from a GDA and my STRIPED
SOCKS from my BESTEST PRINCESS MARIE from Christmas, and I
was looking kinda cute! :)
OUT I went with the DH to run errands! we went to QUIZNOS
for lunch with a b1g1f coupon that they DID NOT ACCEPT (but
in its place gave me $2.00 off) will be writing them a
letter about this because hey , I got the coupon right from
their SITE! :(
then over to STARBUCKS same shopping center, for FREE
FRAPPACINOS after using my last 3 GC that I got free from
writing some online reviews. I had 57c left so I gave as
RAOK to the guy behind me who was VERY HAPPY to accept!
NEXT STOP CARPOOL, I had gotten in on a deal with them over
christmas buy $100 GC SAVE $25....... I had already used $70
so I had $30 left, my carwash was $26.95 so FREE to me
today, and I had $3.xx left which I promptly gifted to the
lady behind me, she was THRILLED and VERY APPRECIATIVE
NEXT STOP SALVAGE BARN

filled our trunk FULL of great items for under $58

coupons but alas, they don't wanna mess with them

NEXT STOP we went to the OFF LINE BETTING TRACK and placed 2

THEN OUT TO DINNER
we traveled to ZORBAS and nope we didn't have a coupon or a
GC but we treated ourselves to a nice romantic GREEK dinner
for under $53 complete with WINE AND AWESOME DESSERTS
we orig. intended to go to a FREE DINNER at bennigans but
there was a car accident and we were starving and had no
choice but to pick another place, this was our choice and
OMG we were loving it! NOW if I could get some discounts
for that place I would be in heaven! :)
HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN JIGGITY JIG...........
into my NEW DKNY pj's that I got for 90% off from a recent
deal alert OMG the best pj's , comfort, style and price
could not be beat! hope you got in too!
Watched an ALMOST free movie that I bought from another GDA
and fell quietly to sleep, thanking God that I have a frugal
lifestyle that allows me these luxuries that I otherwise
would not be able to have, do , reap and enjoy
UNTIL NEXT TIME CAN I GET A HIGH FIVE?
REMEMBER NEVA NEVA NEVA PAY FULL PRICE FOR ANYTHING
